That way. These questions are pretty general. Finally every task
deserves it's own choice and consideration.
Many tools are able doing the same or similar things.
Right decision will depend on your experience, knowledge, further
prospects etc.
I'm using all mentioned so far.
If you may select some output with fields, awk always is nice to use for
example.
Well, awk from an shell inside Emacs, sure, which helps editing a lot.
